A substance is the real physical matter of which a person or thing is made up of.Substance don't announce themselves.When you see them,you just know.It is conspicious,easily identifiable and noticeable,yet it doesn't announce itself.A mirage on the other hand is an optical illusion in which atmospheric refraction by a layer of hot air distorts or shows an inversion of reflections of objects that are far away.
The trend this days is that people are chasing what they presume or assume to be substance but unknown to them are mirages.Halt for a while,take a deep breath,ask yourself some thoughtful questions:What really do I want out of life?What am I really chasing after?Am I doing what I am created or destined to do?Am I in the centre of purpose?Am I really living a fulfilled life with what I am doing presently?Are there ways I could retrieve my steps and get back on track again?How do I get back on track?Who do I model after?Whose mentorship do I follow after?How do I know the real ones?What should I do now to get to where I need to go?
We need to come to that point when we realise that all that glitters is not gold.The long lasting gold,diamonds,emeralds... I know are the things that are of eternal value.This is because you can bank on it at any time any day.Think about it,the world(earth) will pass away and the glories thereof,but "The Word" stands firm forever.Whatever things are pure,whatever things are just,whatever things are of good report...if there be any praise,if there be any virtue...,think on these things.
The heavenly father knows that so many things will come to get our attention,but He has a provision,a guide line for us to follow...It's now left for us to choose the path to walk in.Remember there's a way that seem right,but the end thereof may not be pleasing.It's good to pursue your dreams,purpose,and visions,but we really need to know what we are pursuing.
For some of us,we pretend not to see the handwriting on the wall,and keep chasing shadows,only for us to come back and blame it on God.God is not the author of confusion.His legacies are clear to see,and if you follow "His Word" while chasing what you are pursuing after,you will never miss you steps...He didn't promise a smooth ride or journey all the way,but you are going to land safely for sure.Food for thought:What are we chasing after,substance or mirage?#Substance#Virtues#Mirage#Illusion.
